This is a very interesting article which dissects the result of the vote, the likely response by the Europhiles.

Right: Brussels had had a bomb dropped on it which has a suspiciously Irish green hue to it! The Europhiles, Freemasons and Eurocrats are already planning their response.

It will be invaluable to Nationalists worldwide as it is written by an Irish patriot, rather than so much else on the net which is written by those of us outside Ireland or otherwise by well-meaning liberals and even lefties within Ireland.

As predicted recently by economist David McWilliams, the Lisbon Treaty result hinged very much on a question of class, and access to wealth. Yesterday's result proved him not only to be right, but exposed the brutally exposed the ignorance of the Irish and European political establishments to the needs and wants of the Irish people.

Only a handful of constituencies opted to support Lisbon. Outside of Dublin, Clare was the huge surprise, but even it only supported the Treaty by a tiny minority, and doesn't seem to have been subject to a strong campaign by the "No" lobby. The only emphatic "Yes" votes came from Dún Laoghaire, Dublin South and Dublin South East - bastions of the rich and ethnically Irish boroughs of affluent Dublin - and Kildare North, which, being the old homestead of rich landlords, horse trainers and Anglo-wannabes, was expected to pop for Lisbon.

For all the faults of Ireland, one of the most crushing legacies upon the ruling class is the Referendum clause within the Irish Constitution. It is there for the same reason that our elites here in Britain won't give us a Referendum; the ordinary folk tend not to be as easily swayed toward the new as is the liberal Guardianistas (and whatever that is in Ireland), and will likely vote to change little if they can help it. Certainly in the UK, outside of the central belt of Scotland (where Communism rules) and south Wales (ditto) it would be a task of Hurcules to get the Euro voted for, as it has been for EU instigated regional govenment.

De Valera would, I am quite sure, quietly chuckle to see the Irish PM blabber away whilst having to explain to reporters why the vote has gone so badly.

Quote of the Week

“Unless people start life with a culture of their own, exposure to other cultures will seldom enhance their moral or even aesthetic awareness. Without home culture, as it used to be called – a background of firmly held standards and beliefs – people will encounter the “other” merely as consumers of impressions and sensations, as cultural shoppers in pursuit of the latest novelties. It is important for people to measure their own values against others and to run the risk of changing their minds; but exposure to others will do them very little good if they have no minds to risk. New perspectives presuppose a pre-existing point of view.”
